you shouldn't stuff the tent like that. The material is made by laminating layers together, stuffing it like that, causes unnecessary folds and therefore fail points. The layers start peeling off each other. DCF should be folded and rolled tightly trying to follow the old fold patterns, that's why the sack that comes with is so small and not compressible.

I would suggest hiking the Kungsleden first. It's longer, but more mellow. Also 'easier' because the trail on the Kungsleden is better indicated and you can wildcamp wherever you want :). If the Kungsleden is too long, you can only hike one part (the trail is divided in 4 parts). If, however, you like passing by some little towns on trail, you should hike the TMB.

Relocking at the right height is easy because of the markings but if it happens 4-5 times a day, on a 10-day hike that's about an hour of time wasted on locking the poles again. So my next ones will definately be clip-locked trekking poles.

I know a lot of hikers that hike solo but use a two person tent. More comfortable, although that isn't high on the priority list it's nice. There's enough room for your pack, and if you have a vestibule, you can also cook "inside" during bad weather. Also the tent Floor uses is extremely light for a two person tent. At the start I purchased a QuickHiker UL tent from Decathlon, which is considered "light" at 2kg, but compared to zpacks, that's almost 4 times as heavy. However the zpacks is also 4 times as expensive xD In Europe, you can also buy the Nordisk Lofoten 2 ulw for instance, which has the same weight as the zpacks however the zpacks including 30% taxes is 100 euros cheaper compared to the Nordisk tent.
